I don't like this donate option period,
nor do I like any of the other crazy ass commands such as:
-Kill
-turn player into a chicken/clown
-donate ANYTHING should not be included
-rave party, or any other sillything that effects gameplay.
-teleporting... what the hell all of a sudden your night crawler from x-men?
-fly... ummm sit your ass down boy. :rolleyes:
the swap teams is good & the hostpage, but its best if these cracked commands stay out of public releases..

Thats why it has the option for YOU as server owner to disable it :S
All that other stuff you list there: Teleport, turn player chicken, flying is not the issue here.

If these options were available i would set a max of 100$ , a timeout of 1 minute between donations from the same person and people would only be allowed to donate 10 times every game.

I think the commands should be included but only released in the server owners only section of this forum. Those commands are very usefull if used properly.

As for your reply to the donate command topic zunnie. Very good saying:
"Keep it simple stupid."

There is no need to modify donate with that many options. Right now Black-Cell is using !donate only in team chat and it works all the time. Its a great function and thats the way it best it. Making a bunch of extra options would seem as more of a waste of time. I think the scripters would be better off spending their time making more mods.

Because i think donate maybe unbalance the game a bit indeed. Having the option to set limitations would be good idea.
And to keep everyone satisfied they can change this as they please based on the opinion of the players that come on the server.

The money donating in BC is a good way, and beter then that you wan't it IMO.

And how would people hold all weapons of donating them was an option? I don't see a havoc give away his n00b cannon to some rifle infantry so fast, this way he won't have it anymore, that's why it's called "donating".

Beter known as "raapnaap".

Ill start a new topic here as the other one is full of a load of replies already and i dont want this 'idea' to be forgotten Razz

for example:

If possible:
Put this in the server2.ini options or in brenbot.cfg so that server owners can set their own rules for donating. If the following options are possible it would greatly improve the functionality of the !donate command. People could disable it, set dependencies etc.. Will only see to it that the command suits everyones needs i guess:

[list]
[*]EnableDonate=true ; Set donate on/off
[*]MaxDonate=100 ; Set max ammount for donations
[*]MaxTurns:10 ; Set max ammount of times a player can donate during one game.
[*]RefineryDependent=true ; Donate is only available when Ref is dead(set to false to have donate the whole game with/without Refinery.
[*]Timer=5 (minutes) ; Set timeout how long it takes before donate will be available after the Refinery is dead or after a new map has loaded.
[*]Interval=1 (minute(s)) ; Set timeout between donations.
[/list:u]

I think this would be great. It could satisfy every server owner to what he feels is best for his own server. Also it would allow server owners to run polls on their own site or something about the config options etc.. i suppose it will be a nice addition

[zunnie]

sorry to bump this topic up, but im going to be adding all of these into NR, but i have a question

how the hell will the players know how each server is setup? Razz

and if they try to donate, and cant because of something, how can i make it tell them whats wrong? lol, theres too many options, too hard to code it to say whats wrong Razz

More options for server owners to customise there own server in my opinion is good. I dont agree with the dependancy of the refinary, i feel the donate cmd shoul be allowed always. With zunnies idea i can choose, if you like it on your server set it up like that, if you don't, configure it another way...

Great idea, i would like to be able to set a maximum donate amount, but i also would like to be able to set the map specific too...

The idea of destroying the refinery first doesn't sound bad. I don't think it would be misbalanced because if each person was just donating to each other, they would only be transferring team funds to one another without gaining more theirselves. So in essence you would still be depriving the other team of cash, they would just be bundling it up with other people to afford things. After that they would have to earn more money themselves.

An easy way to sort out the donate confusion might be to add some sort of
!donatehelp command that people could use, and in it you would have a message come up with what you have set things to so far (not a read from your settings file, something you write in yourself). So you might say "donate works when the refinery is dead, you can only donate 5 minutes into the game, etc" and that would clear up the confusion.

yeah, that would work Smile

but what about if they try to use donate when they cant?

all i can think of is repond with

Sorry, But You Cannot Use The Donate Command At This Time.

because i think saying exactly whats wrong would be too hard, as i would have to accomadate for multiple things wrong... =/

There should be a message, telling all players that donating works now, after
the refinery is destroyed

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Maybe you could PM them with "cannot use donate, please use !donatehelp to see why" Confused

This thread is freaking hilarious.

But I would like to see changes like those made to enable server owners with more control over donate which affects the gameplay so much.

the options would be hard to code. But you could do a msg like:

EnableDonate - "Unable to donate: The server has disabled voting"
MaxDonate - "Unable to donate: You have reached the maxium donations for this map"
MaxTurns - "Unable to donate: You have already donated x ammount of turns, please wait until the next map to donate again"
RefineryDependent - "Unable to donate: Ref is not dead"
Timer/Interval - "Unable to donate: Timeout has not yet been reached (x mins/secs remaining)"

And about donating health, illd rather have shield anyday. Shield PWN health.
